Parking
There are a number of parking options for fans attending Michigan State Spartan football games. To see a larger version of the map to the right, please click here. We also have directions to Spartan Stadium and Michigan State University.
Public Parking
Public parking is available on the campus of Michigan State University for $15. Parking in outlying lots are $10. Additionally, parking in north campus lots is $10, except in the Library lot 11. Alcohol-free public parking is available in the field in front of Munn Ice Arena for $15.
Priority Donor Parking
Priority parking is available to donors to the Spartan Fund. A minimum contribution of $250 is required for priority donor parking. You must also purchase the parking pass, which is $105 for automobiles and $210 for RVs.
Disabled Parking
Disabled parking is available for $10 in lot 48, south of the Natural Resources building. A shuttle bus is provided to shuttle fans between the lot and Spartan Stadium. The shuttle runs starting two hours before the game until a reasonable time after the game ends. A handicap permit is required.
RV Parking
Recreational vehicle parking is available for $30 in lot 92 on Service Road between Hagadorn and Bogue.
Shuttle Parking at Commuter Lot
Free public parking is available in lot 89 (commuter lot) at the corner of Mt. Hope Road and Farm Lane. Since Farm Lane is currently under construction for the railroad underpass project, there is no pedestrian or vehicle travel allowed on Farm Lane between Mt. Hope and Wilson Road. This means that you really must take the shuttle to Spartan Stadium. Usually there is a line to board the shuttle buses, but the wait doesn’t get bad until about 40 minutes until kickoff. The line to board the buses back to the commuter lot are usually very long.
Charter Buses
Charter buses can park in lot 92 between Service Road and Bogue Street for $30.
Tennis Courts
The tennis courts are now designated as student parking. ASMSU conducts a lottery for parking passes in the tennis courts. Passes through ASMSU are $140 for the season, or $20 for individual games. Passes can be picked up at 307 Student Services. Passes that are not picked up by 4:00 pm Thursdays will be made available to the general public Fridays at 8:30 am.

But what do the zones mean? public parking or not?
Hi Diane,
My understanding is that the zones are all donor parking, and you need a pass for those lots. The public parking lots all range between $10-15, and parking at the commuter lot is free.
Will you allow motorhome parking after the night game with Iowa?
Hi Arnie,
Thanks for the comment. We are not the official MSU Athletics site, we are just a fan blog, so unfortunately I don’t have a definitive answer for you. However, you may want to check with the MSU Police Department by calling 517-355-8440. They are referenced on the parking page on the MSU athletics site, seems like they may have the answer. Hope that helps!
We have several families that have been tail gating in the parking lot South of Breslin (H Lot) for years. It is my understanding this lot is deemed (premium) and requires a donation of $250 and then another amount for weekly parking for a season pass for football.
I question the reasoning for making this lot such a premium since it is quite a distance from the stadium. The reason I am commenting is to let you know this lot is seldom used (20%) and several hundred parking spots go unused every game. I could see a $ 20 to 25 fee for each game, thus bringing more revenue to MSU and providing a tailgating area for several hundred fans.
